There are few things in Birmingham older than Brownell Travel.

Vulcan wasn't sculpted until the 1904 World Fair. The historic Lyric Theatre wasn't built until 1914, and across the street, the Alabama Theatre wouldn't be built for another 13 years after. Even Sloss Furnaces, a company largely credited with pioneering the city's development, only preceded Brownell by seven years. In fact, the city itself is only 16 years Brownell's senior. So how did America's oldest leisure travel agency find itself in Birmingham, Alabama?

The story begins in 1887, when Walter A. Brownell, a professor of geology, took 10 of his friends and colleagues across the Atlantic to Europe. Well before the popularization of electricity and commercial air travel, the group journeyed to Switzerland by candlelight on a steam ship called the S.S. Devonia.

The trip was successful and soon Walter found himself with more travel enthusiasts than he could plan trips for. He recruited fellow professors (usually of romance languages) and their wives to lead trips, essentially becoming the first Brownell travel consultants.

At the turn of the century, Walter's son Dr. George Brownell and his wife Jennie took over the company, which has continued to send American travelers to cities across the globe for the past 130 years, even through WWI and WWII. As such, the company has quite the history, with a wealth of stories and fun facts. One of the most bizarre: George Brownell's son, George Jr., worked as a spy during WWII. He used his position with the company, as well as his fluency in Spanish and French, to fly under the radar during international travel and contribute to counterintelligence during the war.

Meanwhile, George Sr.'s wife, Jennie, helped to run the business, and by 1931 she and George Jr. took over the company completely, which had since moved to Tuscaloosa where George Sr. was a professor of French and Spanish at The University of Alabama. Her help in coordinating marketing campaigns for the company started the long legacy of female talent at Brownell. Today, roughly 90 percent of their travel advisors and coordinators are women.

A CUT ABOVE

In the 130 years since the first unofficial Brownell trip, a lot has changed--the economy, the global climate, the way we travel, to name a few. To succeed in a world where less than 12 percent of travel agencies established before 1970 survived, the company had to adapt.

To do so, Brownell's vice president of marketing and development Haisley Smith says, the company overcame three major obstacles: commission cuts from airlines, the popularity of the internet, and the terrorist attacks of 9/11. To remedy the first, the company switched to a fee-based model, where travel advisors charge a rate for their services rather than work on commission. Then, to compete with the hoard of do-it-yourself travel websites (Priceline, Travelocity, and Hotels.com all launched in 1997), Brownell honed in on its services, vowing to offer only customized, one-of-a-kind trips to its clients. Finally, when people grew hesitant to travel after 9/11, the company double downed on its client-advisor relationships.

"Whenever fear and uncertainly enter into the equation, you want a resource you can trust," Smith says. "We put processes into place so we weren't just a call center, so you built a relationship with your travel advisor."

Revolutionizing the role of the traditional travel agent was the first step in creating travel experiences unlike any on the market--and the first step in revolutionizing the travel industry. Brownell consultants not only are experts in travel, they're experts in customer service, true professionals in the art of planning the perfect trip--in large part because they've been there.

"At any given moment, we have up to 30 travel advisors somewhere in the world vetting hotels, ground operators, experiences, resorts," Smith says. In recent months, a group of advisors spent four months in undiscovered India. More just returned from Java, Indonesia. But it's not just remote islands and faraway lands that the company vets--they often revisit popularaccommodations to refresh their knowledge.

"We're constantly going back to the tried and true," Smith says. "These historic operations have been around as long as Brownell and we go back to make sure they're still up to snuff."

Brownell advisors undergo an extensive vetting process in order to join the elite group. Independent travel contractors can apply to join the Brownell family, but only 3 percent of applicants make the cut. Those select few complete a 12-month curriculum that includes learning the ins and outs of the company through developing a one-year marketing plan, attending vendor trainings, and completing monthly assignments and conference calls.

Brownell's current group of 85 advisors includes a range of professionals from college professors and attorneys to former Fortune 500 executives and one White House press secretary. And the model is paying off. In its class of agency, Brownell ranks in the top five for revenue, with the least amount of people. Compared to the industry average of $60,000, Brownell advisors bring in well over $125,000 per year.

In short, Brownell upped the ante, making sure they offered the best trips, planned by the best advisors. They already were on the industry's short list of leaders, and after merging with Abeta Travel in Mobile in 2001 and Sterling Travel in Atlanta in 2004, they dominated the southeast market.

EXPERIENCE MORE

Another thing that sets Brownell apart: they can take you anywhere. It's impossible to pinpoint the number of cities Brownell travelers have visited, but all seven continents are more than accounted for. Even trips into Outer Space are in play, pending Richard Branson's forthcoming Virgin Galactic commercial rocket. Brownell was tapped to sell seats on the new project back in 2006.

At Brownell, there's no drop-down menu of pre-packaged trips to choose from, though their website does break destinations into categories: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Caribbean, Central and South America, Egypt and Middle East, Europe, Mexico, North America, and South Pacific and Australia. Within each of those major categories there are a dozen more individual countries and areas, each of which at least one Brownell advisor specializes in. Interest-oriented trips include adventure travel, snorkeling, ballooning, arts, food and wine, religion, train, spa, and cultural.

Clients are matched with advisors based on interest and destination location, and from there, the magic begins. Every detail from flights and hotels to activities and ground transportation is taken care of. Whether the trip is a short weekend getaway or a yearlong world tour, anything is possible. Many clients who plan yearlong trips are families with school-age children, so Brownell works with the parents to arrange tutors or develop curriculums they can complete from wherever they are.

Smith says though it's easy to assume one might be overscheduled and exhausted on a trip planned by a travel advisor, that couldn't be further from the reality of a Brownell trip.

"In actuality, clients overschedule themselves," she says. "We have to force them not to overschedule. Instead, we create situations and scenarios where they can have exploration and discovery on their own in a safe, meaningful way."

That discovery is at the helm of Brownell's trademarked Discover More process. Through it, Smith says, advisors focus on the "why" behind every trip. Why does a family want to travel to, for example, Bali? Why now? And why with this group of people?

"That gets to the root and the psychographic variables that help us to plan the perfect trip," she says.

One of the biggest trends in travel luxury in recent years has everything to do with the "why." Multi-generation heritage trips send families to every corner of the world.

"With DNA testing now, people figure out where they're from and they want to go exactly where they're from," Smith says. "But what's at that root of that desire is traveling together as a family to create family legacies."

Recently-retired baby boomers make up a large portion of heritage travelers who want customized trips. "They want the un-Googleable," Smith says. Another big client group, millennials, are similar. "They have this deep desire to explore and immerse themselves in culture, and that's what we provide--not the cookie cutter." Brownell works with thousands of ground partners in cities around the world to create authentic, insider experiences that give travelers a true taste of local culture, from cuisine to customs.

But what's true of all Brownell travelers, no matter their age, Smith says, is that they remain amazed and humbled by experiencing new destinations and cultures. They're not your average country collector. They're interested in learning about and exposing their children to new cultures. And once they learn about a culture, they become invested in it--so much so that they want to help out.

"People want to be able to give back, volunteer, and get involved in the local communities where they're going," Smith says.

To help travelers make this desire a reality, Brownell vets philanthropic ground partners to create volunteer opportunities. One multi-generational Birmingham family wanted to help women and children in Kenyan tribes. Brownell partnered with a local charity in Kenya to supply 50 solar-charging iPads loaded with Swahili and English curriculums for teachers to use in schools there. The family even made friends with a Kenyan woman who later visited them in the States. Another Birmingham family traveling to Kenya met a local guide who told them that his village did not have access to clean water. The family ended up donating water filtration systems and wells that now provide clean drinking water to about a half dozen villages.

BIRMINGHAM & BEYOND

Brownell has been all over the world--and all over the city. Since moving to Birmingham in 1946, the company has been headquarted downtown, in 5 Points, in Mountain Brook, and in its current location at The Summit.

Inside the chic Birmingham office, traditional trinkets from far off lands, from handmade Venetian Carnival masks to Mexican maracas, comingle with a wall of iPads displaying different Brownell travel destinations, from the ancient Egyptian pyramids to the remote tundra of Antarctica. A soldier from the Terracotta Army stands in front of a modern wall-sized photograph of a luxurious, tropical resort pool. The contrast between the two--old and new--echoes the company's balance between maintaining century-old traditions and forging into unchartered lands, both figuratively and literally.

The company has a long legacy of success in Birmingham and the southeast. Because they don't prospect for new clients, often Brownell's Birmingham travelers are third and fourth generation clients from their families. Birmingham clients trust Brownell, which makes them some of the nation's most adventurous travelers. Smith says the company's other markets, even in bigger cities like Philadelphia or Charlotte, are behind Birmingham in terms of movement around the world.

"Birmingham travelers are much more intrepid than the rest of the world and that makes them some of our favorite clients," she says. "They're not all young, but they're ready to go."

Because of Brownell, Birmingham also has inadvertently become a hub for those in the travel industry across the globe. Every week, two to three travel suppliers visit the Birmingham office. For most of them, it's their first time in Alabama; sometimes it's their first time in the country.

On a recent visit with a partner from Peru, the company's executive vice president, Meg McGriff North, had everyone over to her house for empanadas. The group had such a good time cutting up and telling stories, that they forgot to slow roast the meat, Peruvian style. To make up for their mistake, they substituted barbecue from Miss Myra's.

And that's how it goes at Brownell. Sure, they have an eye for detail, but room is always left for a little out-of-the-box fun. Relationships--between advisors and clients, advisors and international partners, clients and their families--are at the core of the company.

"Nobody would do this job if it weren't for the deep investment in these relationships with the clients," Smiths says. "Every trip means something to us. This is not a transactional agency; we're truly invested."

As part of Brownell, each of its travelers are privy to the "Brownell touch," which means they'll always have a gift (a bottle of wine or maybe a box of chocolates) waiting for them upon arrival. Or their rooms might be decorated with framed pictures of their family members and pets. Or the soundtrack to a play they just saw might be playing in their room after the show.

On a larger scale, Brownell travelers often get upgrades and free breakfast at any of Brownell's more than 10,000 hotel partners around the world. Most importantly, they get the value of having one of the country's largest travel powerhouses behind them. They get peace of mind.

Over the years, Brownell has planned trips and provided security for tens of thousands of travelers. They've also tried on multiple mottos. "There and Back Since 1887." "Travel Beyond Your Expectations." "Discover More." Today, all still hold true. As do the words of George Brownell Jr. during his 1958 speech to the Birmingham Rotary Club, "We live in hectic times in a hectic world," he said. "Travel through understanding is the passport to peace."
